Simpler instructions would be (simplified by the fact that I've checked in the patch):

- Checkout, or switch to:

        https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/branches/modular-build

- Run bootstrap.sh if necessary

- Go to libs/predef/test

- Run ../../../b2

- Verify that info_as_objcpp and info_as_objc tests build.
